In Shenjing, the emperor's southern tour, which caused civil and military controversy in the Manchu Dynasty, finally took place.

In the morning, on the Jingtian Street of the Great Zhou Dynasty, shops and households along the street were waiting in front of the shops, with incense burners ready to welcome the emperor's chariot.

Facing the sunshine in the early morning, densely packed soldiers with spears came from the direction of the imperial city, accompanied by the sound of bells and drums.

The people on Tianjie Street knew that the emperor had arrived in his chariot, and they knelt on the ground with their families holding incense burners.

For them, gods come from heaven and descend to earth, and saints and emperors also come from heaven. In short, they are existences that are unimaginable to them.

The neat footsteps of spearmen came towards us, followed closely by guards with sabers and crossbowmen.

Finally, the emperor drives the chariot.

The Emperor Zhou's carriage passed through Shenjing Tianjie, with musicians accompanying him in front of the carriage, which was elegant and solemn. There was also a flag behind the carriage with the sun, moon and twenty-eight constellations painted on it.

Hundreds of civil and military officials accompanied them on horseback, and the whole procession was vast and long, filling the wide Tianjie Avenue.

"Long live my emperor, long live me."

The streets were filled with shouts of long live, and the number of kneeling heads stretched from this end of the street to the city gate.

In the midst of the emperor's chariot.

Sitian Supervisor Tao Xian was also accompanying the emperor, and at this moment he was even recruited to the emperor's side, staying at his left and right.

On the one hand, it is to ensure the safety of the emperor.

On the other hand, the emperor is also enthusiastic and upright. He hopes that this figure, who is like a leader of the Daoist sect of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will give him lectures on the scriptures and have more influence and influence. It will be easier to answer questions and ask questions if he is close to him.

This is to prepare for the invitation from the immortal. When the time comes, I can show my devotion to the Tao when I arrive in front of the immortal.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing and displeased by the immortal when he asks the question?

From this we can also see the emperor's caution and expectations for this southern tour of immortality.

Incense was burning inside the chariot, and the emperor was holding a Taoist scripture. After asking a few questions, he asked suddenly.

"Tao Aiqing clearly opposed my leaving Beijing a few days ago, why did she stop saying so these days?"

Tao Xianyi handed over his hand: "Before, I was just worried that my trip to Beijing would be too hasty, so I expressed the hope that the Holy One would be more careful and cautious, instead of objecting to His Majesty's visit to the immortal to seek medicine."

"Now that Taoist Lord Kongchen has invited the Holy One to discuss the Tao and preach the scriptures, it must be the Holy One's sincerity that has moved the heavens and the immortals."

"How can a humble minister have any reason to object?"

The emperor put down the Taoist scriptures in his hands and laughed heartily.

"Ai Qing is indeed my loyal minister and understands my wishes well."

After saying this, the emperor looked outside the car. The sun shone into the car. It was a sunny day today.

The emperor felt that this trip would definitely be successful, and he imagined that he would hold hands with the immortal and swim in the clouds, listen to the immortal's sermons, and then be given the elixir of immortality.

From now on, he will live a long and happy life, and he will have all the beauties in his hands.

The city gates were wide open, and thousands of people escorted the emperor out of the capital, heading south.

————-

Northwest of Yanding Prefecture.

In a valley stretching along the mountains, a Taoist priest in his prime wearing light-colored robes came to the fore, it was Taoist Lingwu.

It was clearly daytime, but the valley was as cold as late winter.

The ground was frozen hard wherever my feet stepped on it, there was frost everywhere, and my breath turned white.

Taoist Lingwu came to a huge cave several feet high in the valley and shouted respectfully into it.

"The poor Taoist Lingwu is here to deliver the news on the orders of the True Lord Xuan Zhu Huode."

A cold snort immediately came from the cave: "What is the True Lord Xuanzhu Huode? He is just a lucky junior who secretly learned the inheritance of Gao Vow Point. He has become famous now by relying on the fragments of the Incense Dharmakaya Sutra."

Although he said this, his words were full of jealousy and greed for the so-called fragments of the Dharmakaya Sutra.

They had lived for such a long time and had gone through several dynasties and battles with Taoist demons. They were caught up head-on by a junior who had practiced cultivation for hundreds of years. Of course they felt unfair in their hearts.

"She's just an actress. Gao Shi didn't look at her seriously back then, but now she's putting on airs in front of us." There was more than one person in the cave, and it was obviously another voice. This voice was very important to the past of Zhenjun Xuanzhu Huode.

All ridiculed.

An old voice came out, and other voices immediately subsided: "Come in!"

Taoist Lingwu walked cautiously towards the cave, as if he were entering a sea of ​​blood in a devil's cave, which was actually the case.

As soon as I entered the cave, I saw that the entire cave had been transformed into a palace-like place, with luminous pearls inlaid on the top, illuminating the panoramic view.

And surrounding the cave, three to four feet high, there were shrine-like positions, inside which sat terrifying beings with soaring demonic auras.

These beings were sitting inside the wall like gods and Buddhas, looking down at the Lingwu Taoist.

The one closest to him was a monster with ram's horns and white hair on the upper left. He looked down with pupil-less eyes and almost frightened Lingwu to the ground. This should be the monster who spoke first before.

The goat with long horns and long hair all over his body would cough from time to time while sitting on it, and all the icy air coming out of his mouth would come from him. This shows how powerful he is.

.

Just listening to the other party's breathing made Taoist Lingwu's hair stand on end. He had never seen a demon with such terrifying power, and it was also the first time he had seen a demon that had been transformed to such an extent.

Once a person relies too much on the power of demons, he will gradually be assimilated by the demons, just like the Three Disasters. After merging with the Locust God, the Locust God will assimilate a part of him every time.

Even after separation, he gradually began to possess the characteristics of the Locust God. This demonization not only brought them a long lifespan and strength, but also made them irrevocably transform into demons.

This demon has completely lost control of its demonic nature. I'm afraid he himself can't tell whether he was a human or a goat demon.

But such a monster could only sit on the side. Taoist Lingwu did not dare to raise his head and looked up, so he immediately handed him over.

"Zhenjun Xuanzhu Huode asked me to deliver the news that the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty has left the capital."

A man hidden in a black robe on the right raised his head. His face had no facial features, no eyes, nose, or mouth, but he was still alive: "If you kill a mortal, you will be killed."

A demon near the inside whose body was completely wooden, and who looked more like a wood carving than a human, made a terrifying sound like an old wooden door being opened, and then it went to the extreme: "In the past, Daqian was known as the real dragon, who swept across the eight wastelands and dominated the world.

Emperor Qian, weren’t we eaten by us in the end?”

"Now that the Great Qian is divided into five parts, a mere emperor of the Zhou Dynasty is not worth mentioning."

A mountain of meat next to it actually opened its mouth, and all it saw was a horrifying pile of fat. A face emerged from between the fat meat: "Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie! That meat is so unpalatable! It's so unpalatable."

!”

At this time, suddenly the cave burst into glory.

Taoist Lingwu opened his eyes curiously and looked up.

What is blooming is a huge lotus flower, which is placed in the deepest part of the cave, in the center like a jade.

The lotus flower opened layer by layer, and there was a Taoist sitting cross-legged in the petals.

It's just that this Taoist is very evil. Half of his body is purple, like a zombie, and the other half is normal, looking like an immortal.

But when put together like this, it feels extremely scary, as if they were pieced together forcefully.

The same is true for the Taoist robes on the body, black and white are as clear as yin and yang.

Taoist Yin Yang asked: "Where is Immortal Gao Shi? Where is he?"

Taoist Lingwu seemed to remember something, took a breath of cold air, and quickly knelt on the ground: "Daojun Kongchen should be in Yanding Mansion now, but his trace is still unknown."

"But as soon as the Emperor of Zhou comes out and there is another accident in Yan Ding Mansion, Taoist Lord Kongchen will definitely show up."

Taoist Yin Yang sneered: "Kongchenzi of the Great Zhou Dynasty! Tianjizi of the Northern Wei Dynasty!"

"Haha! They, the descendants of the Gao clan, all have the same Taoist name."

Roshan beside him laughed and said: "Others come from the Kunlun ancestral court, so how can they be considered as lowly as us?"

The wooden demon said: "Gao Shi really figured out the way to become an immortal. No wonder no one was seen during the battle between Dao and Demon. I thought he was scared, but I didn't expect that this guy actually became an immortal. Fortunately, he

If something happens, this time is our chance."

The aura of the ram-horned demon became stronger, and the icy air swept through the entire cave: "As long as we get the method of becoming an immortal from them, we can live forever and no longer have to suffer this daily torture.

Taoist Yin Yang showed boundless hatred in his eyes: "Just in time, this time new and old hatreds will be avenged together."
